What's the Plan?

I can't actually plan too much yet: I've got a list of things I'd like to plant, and seeds for many of them. I noted the seed company for each, as I expect I'll want to know next year which ones were duds. I've also done a little research on which ones prefer acidic versus basic soil. For your amusement, I'm including the list (in progress) below: it includes flowers, veggies, fruits and herbs.AlyssumAsterBasil (several varieties)Bok Choi (白菜)BorageBush Beans (three varieties - green, yellow & purple varieties)CarrotsChervilChinese LanternsCilantroClematisColumbine (acquilegia)ComfreyDahliasDianthusDillGingerGarlic bulbsHorseradish (hard to start, but may try anyway)Lettuce (green leaf, and mesclun mixes)MarigoldMung beansNasturtiumPeppers (Bell peppers - several colors, and a variety of hot peppers. I really like the small green asian varieties)raspberry canes, of courseSageScallionsSpinachStrawberriesSugar snap peasSunflowers (I'm trying a red variety this year)Sweet peas (don't worry - I won't be planting it next to the edible peas!)Tomatoes (several varieties - large & small)

Thanks for the tip on horseradish, Ali! I didn't know that. I am unsure whether I'll succeed with it, but I figure I'll be arranging my plantings in 'plots' - the better to monitor success/failure of various seeds. I do love horseradish though...
